Serena: Woah. You used his electricity to make Electrike move faster instead of using it for attacking.

May: That’s right. I knew I’d have to think out of the box with your Pokémon. Thankfully, I’ve been watching your battles all year, so I know all your strategies.

(I couldn’t agree more. And plushies have always been our number one thing.)

(Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the plushie pictures. And I’ve also loved Serena’s design. It’s truly the best.)

Rosa: I can’t believe Rhyhorn and Electrike are going to fight each other.

Gloria: They are best friends, but this is a big moment for Serena. They’re going to do their best for both their trainers.

Hippopotas: Hip Hippo!

Rhyhorn: … *shakes head* Rawr rawr rawr.

Serena: Okay. Do your best out there buddy.

Rhyhorn: Rawr!

Electrike: Ruff Ruff! *nods*

May: You got this Electrike! We’ll give Rhyhorn a good fight.

(Battle Begin!)

Rosa: May is one of the Elite Four???

Dawn: Is that why she wanted me to watch the babies?

Gloria: Yeah she was part of the planning with the other gym leaders.

Dawn: So you guys knew the whole time?

Marnie: Well we had to keep the surprise up for Serena.

Serena: Well i wasn’t expecting that, but I’m still not backing down. We’ll take on any challenge in our way.

May: Hey Serena.

Serena: May? You’re one of the Elite Four?

May: Yeah. Leon asked me to be one of your challengers. Plus I was pretty strong back in Hoenn you know. So you better get yourself ready for MY challenge.

It’s time

Rosa: Hey where’s May? Didn’t she want to see Serena off?

Dawn: Yeah I haven’t seen her since this morning.

Dawn: You think she’ll be okay?

Gloria: Serena? That girl’s fought in all sorts of tough battles before.

Marnie: She’s more than ready for this. If there’s anyone I believe can handle this, it’s Serena.

Serena: *Recalls all her Pokémon back to their Pokeballs*

Well guys, shall we get going?

Rhyhorn: Rawr.

Zygarde: Hmm.

All good bro. It happens.

Serena: Diancie, we got some really strong opponents coming up. And we’ll need a strong fairy type with us. Can you help us?

Diancie: Diancie! 😄

Serena: Hehe I knew we could count on you. Now I know we’ll win for sure!

Serena: There you are Diancie. Now our team is finally ready.

Rhyhorn: Rawr rawr.

Zygarde: Hmmm

Diancie: Diancie Diancie. 😊

Isabelle: Oh dear you’re right! I wasn’t thinking. 😰

Isabelle: Hopefully that doesn’t mean something is happening here. … oh well.

I’ll see you all next time everybody! Take care! 👋😄
